LONDON, Sept. S.-The lord mayor of
Dublin is making preparations to re-
ceive on the 18th inst deputation of
twenty-five English home rulers, among
whom will be Charles A. V. Cony-
beare, member cfor Camborne; r. c..
Graham, member for the northwest diyis-
ion of Lanark; E. H. Pickersgill,
member for Bethnal Green: Prof. j. E.
ThOrold Rogers, the eminent statistician,
and number of clergymen of the
Church of England, who are in sympa-
thy with the home rule movement. The
deputation will first attend an enormous
demonstration in the Irish capital, and
will then scatter throughout the country
to deliver addresses under the auspices
OF the Irish National league and the
various Protestant home rule aSSocia-
tiOns in different sections of Ireland.
THE TRADES CONGRESS.
The tenor of the resolutions passed by
the trades, congress agitating the eight
hour-a-day movement, demanding Satur-
day as full holiday and recommending
land reform, beginning with such an
imposition of the land tax as will event
ually leave the land in the possession OF
the people, are causing widespread COM
ment. The congress to-day gave the pa
pers still further ground for criticism by
suspeHding its regular order of business
for the sole purpose of passing set OF
resolutions condemning the present
truck system in Ireland and censuring
the house of lords for its action of yes
terday evening in repudiating clause
in the truck act which was intended to
do away with some of the most objec-
tiOnable features of the system.
CHANGES RUMORED.
The rumOr is again revived and
handed around with wonderful celebrity
and admOnitiOnS to keep it dark that
William Henry Smith, the Tory leader
in the house of commons, is to be re-
warded for his answering loyalty with
nothing less than full-hedged peerage,
and that Sir Henry James, who was one
of Mr.. Gladstone's ministers, is to re-
lieve Rt. Hon. Henry Matthews, O. c.,
of the arduous duties of home secretary.
Mr.. Matthews, who has recently gained
an unenviable reputation for unfairness
in connection with the case of Miss
CasS, the young Bloomsbury dress
maker who was arrested for al
legged street walking, is to be
placed on the queens bench
in the capacity of a Judge,
where, 1t is hoped, he will meet with
better success. AT all events if these
rumors are founded on facts, it is not
at all probable that Lord Huntington
will succeed Mr.. Smith as the Tory
leader i'll the house of commons, a posi-
ton which the noble lord has coveted
for long time.
THE FAILURE
of the banking firm of Germany, Smith
Il Greenway at Warwick, which was an
nounced yesterday is attributed to the
fact that the firm had invested heavily
in numerous German and English tram
way stocks which proved Improbable.
A large number of poor working people
and small tradeSmen who had entrusted
their little saving to the care ofthe firm,
are rendered penniless by the failure.
